Wedding Planning Checklists

Hello fellow readers of this fabulous blog. My name is Amanda & I blog over at We&Serendipity. I was a bride one year ago and truly felt like I learned a ton from my wedding. I’m so happy to be here sharing my experiences and knowledge from the wedding. One thing I thought would be best while planning was a checklist. I could never find the perfect checklist for me. Why? Well, because I got engaged, and 4 months later, I was married. To the world, that is crazy. I read that most engagements are 9-12 months. That being said, I made my own. I thought it would be awesome to make different time frames. Because everyone is in a different situation and different time frame!  


Keep in mind that each of these checklists are equivalent to an 8 ½ x 11 sheet of computer paper. So if you want to print these checklists, right click, save-as, and print away. 












i hope these checklists help some of you.
it sure seems like a lot to do. 
but if you break it down into months, and be super organized during it all,
i truly think it'll help you out in the long run.
happy wedding planning!

Importance of Mehndi in Indian Weddings

Indian marriages are known for their many rituals. In fact, the beauty of Indian weddings comes forth in the numerous traditions that are associated with the special celebration. Marriage day being the most important day in one's life. Infact one whole ceremony dedicated to its celebration popularly known as "Mehndi Ki Raat". Indian marriages are incomplete without dance, music and lots of laughter.

It is a common belief that the darker the color the mehndi leaves on the hands on a bride, the more will she be loved by her husband and mother-in-law. However, the significance of applying mehndi during weddings is not restricted just to sentiments and beliefs. Although these beliefs make the application of mehndi a much anticipated and charming tradition, the actual reason is of much deeper significance.

Mailing out invitations just a month before? Seems kind of tight to me. I've always heard 3 months, especially if guests will be coming from out of town.

A suggested amendment: I work at a bridal shop, and bridesmaids dresses almost always take 3 months to come in. Then when you figure in 6-8 weeks for alterations, three months is a bad time to BEGIN looking for bridesmaid dresses. Davids Bridal is the only salon I know of who carries more than one size of dress in stock especially in the one color you happen to be looking for. The rest of us need more time to help you!

Lauren Krzyzaniak, LMHCA said...

If you mail out your invitations only a month before, don't be surprised if you have low guest attendance. If people are coming from out of town, it's ridiculous to expect them to make the necessary arrangements (airfare, time off work, hotel, rental car, etc...) in such a short time. If you're going to be engaged for only 4 months, mailing out your invitations should be one of the first things you do.

As a minister who does lots of weddings, I am curious that none of the lists include selecting & meeting with the officiant of the wedding, or suggest marriage preparation work. The couples I work with tell me that with all the excitement & details of planning the big day (for which your check lists are very comprehensive), marriage prep work & talking through the ceremony itself are some of the most meaningful parts of the planning process.

In ceremony, everyone is occupied with a lot of work. I must say it is the best idea to release the partner stress. Following things plays important role for any successful wedding planning: Decor of lightening, interior and wedding transport. I remember those delightful moments when I first plan wedding ceremony of my brother without any prior experience. When I arranged my brother's wedding through online virtual Wedding planner . So I think these things can really add a lot of value to any successful wedding ceremony.

The expenditure of the marriage is possibly the hardest and the stressful work of Weddings Planning. Take advantage of wedding budget calculators to produce a perfect budget initiating the marriage budget checklist or the starting point. This can make your wedding a desire come true for your life and irrespective from the size of the dessert or the expenses of the attire. You can take full advantage of your small budget as well as plan further by making use of your resources.
